DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product. Euro Lambda 100 CS acts by contact, therefore ensure thorough spray coverage for good control.

Preparation of sprayer
Part fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Shake the container and add the correct amount of Euro Lambda 100 CS to the sprayer using a filling device (eg. induction bowl, probe etc.) or by direct addition to the spray tank. Wash out container thoroughly. Preferably use an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinse three times. Add washings to the sprayer at the time of filling. Dispose of rinsed container safely.

SPRAYING
Ensure adequate volume and pressure is used and that the sprayer is correctly calibrated before use. Do not leave the spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (i.e. during meals or overnight).

RESISTANCE
Strains of some aphid species are resistant to many aphicides. Where aphids resistant to products containing lambda-cyhalothrin occur, Euro Lambda 100 CS is unlikely to give satisfactory control. Repeat treatments are likely to result in lower levels of control.

Processed crops
Taint tests have shown that Euro Lambda 100 CS does not taint crops, but growers should consult processors before use.

Compatibility
Please consult Syngenta Ireland for advice on mixture products

CROP RECOMMENDATIONS
WINTER AND SPRING WHEAT, WINTER AND SPRING BARLEY, SPRING AND WINTER OATS, RYE AND TRITICALE

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (Aphid Vectors) 50 ml/ha 200 l/ha

Timing
a) Cereals emerging during September: Apply a single Euro Lambda 100 CS spray as a routine in the period midlate October if BYDV is commonly a problem on the farm or in the locality. If aphids can be found in the crop earlier, spray immediately. Further treatments may be required in high risk areas especially during mild winters
b) Cereals sown from October onwards: Follow recommendations for low risk areas

Timing for Low Risk Areas
A spray should only be applied in the years when the risk of infection is high, based on aphid monitoring and according to specialist advice. When aphids can be found in the crop and/or specialists identify a BYDV risk, spray immediately.

Note
Crops which follow closely a grass ley or weedy stubble, where there is a risk of direct aphid transfer to the crop should be treated as high risk.

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Aphids on the ears e.g. Grain Aphid, Rose-grain Aphid 50 ml/ha 200–300 l/ha (see notes below

Spring use
In the absence of an earlier application of Euro Lambda 100 CS, treatment can also be worthwhile if aphids carrying BYDV are present up to GS32.

Timing
The optimum timing for application is after ear emergence (GS59) The latest time of application is before GS77, or before GS71 for oats. Apply according to official thresholds. Notes: When Euro Lambda 100 CS is used for control of aphids on the ear, some reduction of aphids on the flag leaf will occur. Use sufficient water volume to ensure thorough crop penetration

WINTER AND SPRING WHEAT

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Yellow Cereal Fly (Opomyza florum) 50 ml/ha 200 l/ha

Timing Apply at egg hatch, usually from late January onwards depending on the season. Early emerged crops are most at risk. Sprays applied for the control of BYDV will also give some control of this pest

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
200 ml per cereal crop.

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Orange Wheat Blossom Midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana) 50 ml/ha 200 l/ha

Timing
Applications should be made if a threshold number of midges laying eggs on the ears are found. Best results are achieved if application timing coincides with adult midge flight. Midges start laying on the lower ears within a crop in the early evening and work higher as the light fails; egg laying continues until dark.

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
200 ml per cereal crop.

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Gout Fly (Chlorops tumilionis) 50 ml/ha 200 l/ha

Timing
Apply at the one leaf stage of the crop when the first eggs are laid. Sprays applied for the control of BYDV will also give some control of this pest,

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
200 ml per cereal crop

WINTER AND SPRING OILSEED RAPE

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Flea Beetle 75 ml/ha 200 l/ha

Timing
Apply at first signs of attack. Repeat 10–14 days later if necessary.

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
225 ml per hectare per crop.

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle 50 ml/ha 200 l/ha

Timing
Apply in the autumn when feeding damage is first seen on young rape plants to control the adults. To control the larvae, spray once larvae can be found in the plants, normally late October/early November. Monitor crops carefully for signs of further larvae infestation and apply a second spray if required. A routine spray in late October/early November can often be justified in known high risk areas.

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
225 ml per hectare per crop.

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Beet Western Yellow Virus (Aphid Vectors) 75 ml/ha 200 l/ha

Timing
Apply as soon as aphids can be found in the crop. A second spray may be needed 3–5 weeks later if aphids continue to migrate into the crop. Applications made late in the autumn, ie. from November onwards, may be less effective in controlling the virus if aphid migration and virus transmission had begun several weeks earlier. Euro Lambda 100 CS applied to control aphid vectors of Beet Western Yellow Virus will reduce the level of virus in the crop and will also provide good control of Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle adults and larvae depending on their incidence and the period of egg hatch

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
225 ml per hectare per crop.

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Pollen Beetles 75 ml/ha 200–300 l/h

Timing
Apply at the green/yellow bud stage according to specialist advice or if official thresholds are reached

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
225 ml per hectare per crop.

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Seed Weevil and Pod Midge 75 ml/ha 200–300 l/ha

Timing
Applications should be made during the flowering period when seed weevil numbers reach the threshold for spraying. Best results are normally achieved when application coincides with the onset of peak adult activity. This often occurs between the 20% pod set stage and the end of flowering on the main raceme (i.e. 75% petal fall across the entire crop). Avoid spraying in the heat of the day when bees are particularly active. For spring sown varieties apply at green to yellow bud stage if seed weevils are present at threshold levels. Repeat application during flowering if the attack is prolonged. The latest time of application to winter oilseed rape is the end of flowering and the latest time for spring oilseed rape is 6 weeks before harvest

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
225 ml per hectare per crop

WINTER AND SPRING FIELD BEANS

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Pea and Bean Weevil 75 ml/ha 200–300 l/ha

Timing
For the reduction of leaf notching/feeding damage, apply if there is a risk of severe damage by adult weevils to the growing points of the crop in the early stages of growth. Under high pest pressure a repeat application may be required 2 to 3 weeks after the initial application. Where there is a history of severe weevil damage, a first application made at the first signs of adult attack (leaf notching) may be beneficial in some situation

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
150 ml per hectare per crop

COMBINING AND VINING PEAS

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Pea and Bean Weevil 75 ml/ha 200 l/ha

Timing
For the reduction of leaf notching/feeding damage, apply if there is a risk of severe damage by adult weevils to the growing points of the crop in the early stages of growth. Under high pest pressure a repeat application may be required 2 to 3 weeks after the initial application. Where there is a history of severe weevil damage, a first application made at the first signs of adult attack (leaf notching) may be beneficial in some situations.

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
150 ml per crop

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Pea Moth 50 ml/ha 300–600 l/ha

Timing
Combining Peas - Apply to flowering crops according to official advice or as indicated by pheromone traps. Spray later crops as soon as they are in full flower. Apply a second treatment 10–14 days after the first Vining Peas - Crops which are in full flower should be treated with a single spray at the calculated date

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
150 ml per crop

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Pea Aphid 50 ml/ha (See notes below) 300–600 l/ha

Timing
Apply to flowering crops according to specialist advice or when thresholds are reached. Repeat if necessary. Inspect the crop carefully, especially during the early stages of flowering

NOTES
Euro Lambda 100 CS will provide effective control of early infestations of pea aphid which are confined to the terminal growing points of the crop and are exposed to spray droplets. For established aphid infestations on the growing points and for aphid infestations which are sheltered within the crop canopy apply Euro Lambda 100 CS in tank mixture with APHOX at 140 g/ha. Where aphids are the only pest present and are well established throughout a crop canopy which is dense it is preferable to apply APHOX alone at 280 g/ha.

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
150 ml per crop

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Pea Midge 75 ml/ha 300–600 l/ha

Timing
Apply within 3–5 days of the first adult midges being found in the crop. Repeat 7–10 days later if midge activity continues. Sprays can be delayed if the weather is not suitable for midge activity or if the crop is not at a susceptible growth stage

Note
Consult a crop specialist for advice on application timing and information on midge activity in your area.

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
150 ml per crop

CARROT AND PARSNIP

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Cutworm 75 ml/ha 400–1000 l/ha

Timing

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
150 ml per hectare per crop.

CROP AND PEST RATE OF USE WATER VOLUME Carrot Fly 150 ml/ha 200–300 l/ha

Timing
Euro Lambda 100 CS is particularly suitable for the control of second and subsequent generations of carrot fly. A programme of treatments provides the best results. Application should be targeted at the crop foliage, high volume sprays should not be used. Euro Lambda 100 CS may give reduction of the first generation, one application is usually sufficient, the crop must have a minimum of 4 true leaves. For the control of the later generations, applications should be made at approximately weekly intervals. The first treatment should occur a week before 10% egg laying, or when the first adult flies are caught on sticky traps. Evenings are the best time to apply. Maximum total dose: 450 ml per hectare per crop (four applications).

MAXIMUM TOTAL DOSE
450 ml per hectare per crop.
